The broadcast will originate from Washington, DC, and may be
received at any location having down-link facilities. However, if
you have employees who are unable to view the broadcast and/or you
prefer to use a videotape of the training, contact Ms. Angelique
Ewell at OGE, 202-523-5757 ext. 1111 (202-208-8000 ext. 1111 after
